The New York Times yesterday identified 10 more articles in which disgraced reporter Jayson Blair plagiarized, invented quotes and flubbed facts.

The new corrections of articles, which were published from 2000 until this year, come a month after the Times published a massive exposé of dozens of Blair’s deceptions, and a week after top editors Howell Raines and Gerald Boyd quit because of the scandal.

The first exposé focused on articles written by Blair between last October until May 1, when he left the Gray Lady. The Times had said it would be checking other stories.

Discovery of the additional malfeasance contradicts a prediction Blair made last month.

“I will argue that nobody will find in my career anything like between January and March and January and April of this year,” Blair cockily told the New York Observer.

But in one Times story published May 5, 2002, Blair appeared to rip off quotes from a comic book creator that had been published several weeks earlier in Detroit’s Metro Times. The Times correction says the artist’s manager denies Blair ever interviewed the artist.

Sarah Klein, the writer that Blair stole from, said she e-mailed him last year after noticing similarities between their stories, but never heard back.

“I honestly never in my life thought that the New York Times would plagiarize me,” Klein said.
